Yep I've got some of their earlier blu-ray only releases like The Innocents, Nighthawks etc, which were in slim blue cases. And for a while they used standard blue amaray cases, but that seems to have changed at some point in the last year or two. Though a prior poster did mention he purchased Salo in a blue case. Plus the slim cases in the Jarman sets are blue. So there is some inconsistency in the collection.

Still waiting for my copy to dispatch. Has anyone seen this in store anywhere? Might cancel and instead pick it up in HMV Friday or Saturday.

I was thinking the same, so I emailed HMV. Apparently they have been let down by their suppliers; they are expecting stock to arrive before the end of the week. It's unclear whether the stock issues apply to just the HMV website or the stores as well.

For some reason I get "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." info when trying to go to page 7 & beyond of the BD section hence why I haven't noticed them.

[Magyalmar]

Do you have a link guys? Cause I keep getting 0 items sold by that seller.

Even when searching individually for each item I don't get any from Overstocks.

They're still coming up for me on the eBay mobile app. Just a normal sitewide search e.g. 'Ken Loach collection' and it's the second one down.

[Magyalmar]

Thanks, the list does show up when using the app!

OOP notice via BFI’s Facebook group:

**DELETION NOTICE** The Party's Over (Flipside 011) is now deleted. According to Amazon, they have 7 copies left in stock so if you want it I'd strongly recommend buying it now! https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Party%2...f=nb_sb_noss_2 I'm sure other retailers have a few copies but there's none left in our warehouse and we can't manufacture any more copies.

I need 7-8 titles to complete this range which includes the very first release.

Base, E-Bay and Fopp are places to check for bargains on these.
